These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of turkey meatballs, but these were actually really good. The sauce is what really makes them.

These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I will try making them again with less sugar next time.
